How useful is fish oil in easing menstrual pain?

I was in a health food store and my girlfriend grabbed a couple of newsletters. One had a study by the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology that said 6 grams of fish oil was effective in easing menstrual pain in teens. I hadn’t heard this before, so I thought I would throw it out to see if anyone else had come across any studies.

I thought six sounded like a lot, but that’s the dose they said was effective. I’m a guy, just trying to help out. My g/f used to have pretty bad cramps, but since we started on fish oil they don’t seem as bad. We started on it for heart reasons.
